    EPISODE 107: "THE CASE FOR BIBLICAL MASCULINITY"

    In a culture confused about manhood, strength, and leadership, this episode of Man Up, Already! calls men back to a biblical vision of masculinity—one rooted not in domination or passivity, but in responsibility, sacrifice, courage, and love. Host John C. Puritz explores why the absence of strong, grounded, God-centered men has left families fractured, communities weakened, and society searching for direction. This conversation challenges cultural extremes and reframes masculinity through Scripture, character, and purpose. Biblical masculinity isn’t about control—it’s about stewardship. It’s not about silence—it’s about presence. And it’s not about ego—it’s about obedience to God. 🔑 Topics Covered How society lost a clear definition of healthy masculinityThe difference between cultural masculinity and biblical masculinityWhy men withdrawing has been just as damaging as men abusing powerBiblical masculinity as responsibility, not entitlementThe role of men as protectors, providers, and servant leadersJesus as the ultimate model of strength under controlWhy families, churches, and communities flourish when men lead wellCalling men out of passivity and into purpose 📖 Biblical Foundations Discussed Strength paired with humilityLeadership expressed through serviceAuthority anchored in accountability to GodLove that sacrifices rather than demands“Biblical masculinity isn’t loud—but it’s solid. It doesn’t dominate—but it stands firm.” 💬 Key Takeaways Masculinity is not toxic—misdirected masculinity isMen don’t need to be softened; they need to be discipledSociety doesn’t need louder men—it needs stronger men of characterA man who knows who he is in God becomes a stabilizing force in the world 🎯 Who This Episode Is For Men who feel confused about their role in today’s cultureFathers who want to model strength and faith for their childrenMen seeking purpose, clarity, and grounding in ScriptureAnyone concerned about the future of families and leadership🔗 Listen & Subscribe 🎧 Available on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts 📢 New episodes every other week
